Is a DISASTER for obama.

USAtoday/Gallup Battleground - Mitt leads by FIVE

Politico/GWU Battleground - Mitt leads by TWO.

George Washington University Battleground Poll - POLITICO.com

Can't find party ID breakdown..
Just an interesting point in the first article that breaks down those polled.

"But a word of caution is necessary," Eichenberg adds. "Although swing states share many similarities, President Obama's support among women is holding up well in some of them and less well in others. For example, his support among women is largely unchanged since the first debate in Ohio and Wisconsin, but it is definitely down in Colorado, Virginia and Florida."
Which this makes sense because Romney has been gaining ground in Colorado, Virginia, and Florida. It also makes sense that the first debate didn't touch a single women's issue therefore it is hard for Romney to fair good or bad about something he did not talk about in the debate, same goes for Obama.


The second link is just idiotic at best, likability has shifted one point, therefore somehow Romney is more likeable?

Mitt's been gaining ground in all states, even CA. Here are the "swing" states from USA/Gallup;

Quote:
The states are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Again, IA, MI NV, NM, PA and WI should NOT be swingers.

The bump is gone? Really?

New national polling -

Romney up 3 - UPI Poll: Romney takes lead over Obama - UPI.com

Romney up 1 - National 2012 Presidential Ballot

Romney remains up 2 in the Gallup tracking poll.

Election 2012 Likely Voters Trial Heat: Obama vs. Romney

Incidentally, Ponderosa will be happy to know that Gallup and ARG call cell phones (I am not sure whether UPI does). Yes, this applies to the USA Today/Gallup swing state poll as well.

New swing state polls:

Iowa 2012 Presidential Ballot - tie in Iowa (this pollster's previous IA poll had Obama up 7)

Virginia 2012 Presidential Ballot - Romney up 1 in Virginia (this pollster's previous VA poll had Obama up 2)

Yes, ARG does call cell phones.

Romney now back up 0.1%. It was exactly tied earlier. So Romney is rising.

BTW - I didn't report your thread. I simply asked in a post why it hadn't been shut down because it was clearly a troll thread. I did not click on the report button or have any communication with a moderator about the thread. If you can't understand why it was a troll thread, I don't know what to say.

Then why did they have Obama up 7 in Iowa in their September poll there?

Why did they have Obama up 5 in Florida in September?

Florida 2012 Presidential Ballot

These are just two examples of polls they put out that were very favorable to Obama.

romney was up 1.3 2 days ago. we know you love romney, but 1.3 to 0.1 does not indicate things are going romneys way.
